We have some great sessions at the Streaming Media East show, May 14-16 in NYC talking about P2P and other forms of content distribution. One of the sessions on May 15th is entitled "Is P2P The Answer To Large Scale Video Delivery?"

Moderated by Rich Mavrogeanes the Founder and CTO of VBrick, this session discusses whether P2P will finally revolutionize online video distribution. They will discuss whether the cost savings advantage with P2P is real, how P2P will translate into a competitive advantage, how P2P distribution may affect the networks and CDNs and what some of the potential problems are that P2P technology may face from the telco’s. The panelists include:

  • Nick Rockwell, CTO, MTV Networks
  • Christopher Levy, Chairman, Digital Media Management Working Group, DCIA
  • Monty Mullig, SVP, Internet Technologies, Turner Broadcasting System
  • Brian Taptich, VP, Business Development, BitTorrent

Register for the show and come hear the debate on whether P2P is the answer to the fundamental capacity limitations for large-scale video audiences for today’s Internet. Are there any topics or points would you like to see discussed at this session? If so, please include them in the comments section.

    This is going to be a great panel that really opens up the entire P2P Delivery model from a variety of angles.

    It’s unfortunate that there is no one representing the ISP / telcos on this panel. Ultimately they are going to have a big say on whether P2P will be successful or not. Although I cannot attend the panel, I’d be interested in knowing what are the P2P providers doing to work with ISPs and Telcos.

    Given the players, it could easily degrade into pro-con arguments regarding “use of anarchistic file-sharing systems for legitimate content distribution”. And then the expected DRM discussion. Snoooze.
    We’re at the point now where content owners should be stepping up with real P2P usage stories: What was the real-world efficiency improvement? What was consumer adoption rate of client? Do they view NSP throttling of P2P as a threat to their business? etc etc
